Product design & engineering

Creating intuitive, elegant, and functional products that enhance user experience and brand value.

Our Industrial design company in Australia capability transforms ideas, technical innovations, user and market insight into production-ready products. We specialize in industrial product design and development, shaping the conceptual direction—defining the look, feel, and fit of a product in its intended use case, environment, and context of use. This includes the physical form, usability, operability, and overall desirability. Our industrial designers in Sydney and Melbourne are engaged from initial discovery through to prototyping and production handover, ensuring a consistent design vision and traceable decision-making at every stage. The workflow progresses from research, competitor benchmarking, ergonomic analysis, and concept generation to detailed CAD and usability validation through block models and trials. Fast-turnaround prototypes—including sketches, CAD, mock-ups, and block models—support rapid iteration, reduce risk, and refine concepts throughout the development lifecycle.

Our industrial design consultancy uses journey mapping, ethnographic observation, and stakeholder interviews uncover real needs and embed them into the product design strategy. Industrial design in Australia works in close collaboration with engineering, marketing, and client teams to translate insights, technical constraints, and brand objectives into solutions that are both innovative and feasible. Early component and process reviews integrate design-for-manufacture and assembly, while color, material, finish, branding, and packaging are resolved to build a coherent identity. Virtual-real visualizations and strict design-validation protocols de-risk decisions, accelerate approval, and deliver robust, award-winning products for medical, consumer, and industrial markets.

Bringing ideas to life with robust, manufacturable, and cost-effective solutions.

Our Mechanical engineering product design capability develops the physical systems and components that form the functional core of products, applying scientific principles of physics, materials science, and mathematics to create reliable, high-performance mechanical solutions for consumer products, industrial, and medical devices. This capability transforms complex performance requirements, environmental constraints, and operational demands into optimized mechanical systems while preserving design intent and balancing human factors considerations with technical performance criteria. The workflow progresses from requirements analysis and competitive benchmarking to concept generation, detailed CAD modeling, and advanced simulation including finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided engineering (CAE) through prototype testing and validation protocols. Advanced topology optimization, materials selection, thermal management, and structural analysis integrate seamlessly with electro-mechanical interfaces and electronic hardware systems, while stress analysis, fatigue modeling, and manufacturing optimization de-risk decisions and accelerate development timelines. This delivers product design integrated solutions that satisfy performance, reliability, safety, and user experience requirements while maintaining manufacturing feasibility throughout the development process.

From PCB design to firmware development, we integrate smart technology into every product.

Embedded Electronics Hardware and Firmware for every application. From PCB design to firmware development, we integrate smart and emerging technologies into connected product solutions. Spanning design of wearable microelectronics to high power systems, the Capgemini Electronics and Embedded Systems team has the toolkit and experience to design any embedded application. Spanning architecture, electronics development, and embedded firmware design—aligned to functional requirements, regulatory constraints and the tightest commercial constraints. EMC compliance, power efficiency, and real-time control are addressed from early development through hardware-in-the-loop validation. Firmware spans bare-metal drivers, middleware integration, application logic, and complex GUIs for connectivity, sensing, and control. Prototypes undergo bench testing and field validation, while production test strategies and software updates are developed in parallel—ensuring robust performance across lifecycle and scale. Expertise spans medical, consumer electronics product design, medical device electronics, and industrial embedded systems.

As we specialize in consumer product design and development, Design for manufacture capability transforms product concepts into production-ready solutions by embedding deep expertise in materials, manufacturing processes, and production constraints throughout the design process from initial concept to final product by our consumer product design companies. This strategic approach prevents late-stage rework, sourcing delays, and cost surprises by shaping architecture decisions early and ensuring products can be built reliably at scale. The workflow progresses from manufacturability assessment and materials selection to prototyping, supplier sourcing and evaluation, production validation, and manufacturing transfer through continuous collaboration between design and production teams. Core DFM principles including part count minimization, assembly simplification, component standardization, and optimal process selection integrate with supplier qualification, rapid prototyping, quality systems, and scalable production approaches to de-risk decisions, accelerate production ramp, and deliver products optimized for any volume from prototype, short run, through to mass production by our commercial product design services.

Our design and development company uses Design-led approach to product development capability transforms user insights, market opportunities, and business objectives into human-centered solutions by placing the user, use case, and environment at the center of every decision. The workflow in product design and development consultancy progresses from ethnographic research, user journey mapping, stakeholder interviews, and empathy building to design thinking frameworks, collaborative problem-solving workshops, and iterative concept validation through comprehensive user testing and continuous refinement protocols. Our product design services such as Advanced design thinking methodologies, inclusive design principles, behavioral analysis, and cross-disciplinary collaboration integrate with rapid prototyping, usability validation, and systematic problem-solving approaches to de-risk decisions, accelerate user adoption, and ensure solutions address genuine human needs.
